Watch someone try to pull off "Gold Digger" at a karaoke bar and get back to me about how easy it is.

If you're not also giving lessons in how to develop an original flow and improvise lyrics, I can tell you this with absolute certainty: you have no idea what you're talking about. Just bias. Ask a violin player how hard guitar is.

This is beyond ludicrous. Talk about bias bordering on idiocy. How many rappers do you think improvise lyrics? LOLOL. First off, that’s not the level I’m talking about. But if I were talking about improvisation, it would still be light years easier for a novice to choose and speak phrases in time with a beat on the spot than it would for a non musician to improvise anything resembling a purposeful melody in the correct key (pitch: yet another thing you don’t have to worry about with rap since it’s literally just talking) on a guitar. Give me a break. ‘Original flow.

Suspicious of what? Cmon, don’t be shy. I would love you guys to just come out and make the wild accusation that you are insinuating and the exact logic you are basing it on. Maybe you realize saying it outright and trying to back it up would sound really stupid?

My issue is that I dislike it. I’m pretty sure I have the authority to decide that ‘issue’ and express it however I like. Sole authority, actually. But now that I think about it, it’s a pretty dumb notion that you have to love something to know objective things about it. Im curious what your thoughts are on the Serial killers.

You know a style of music has really hit rock bottom when they have to resort to that to appeal to the masses.
It wasn't bad enough they went to doing bad pop with whiny singers that all were trying to sound like each other, but now they have to resort to something so completely remote from country.
Country "music" is obviously pandering to the lowest common denominator, and is now not country and barely passes as music.

I wonder if some of those formulative "Bro Country" songwriters suddenly feel like Warrant when the band walked into their label's offices one day and saw Nirvana posters on the wall; realizing right then and there that the hair metal era was over.

Rap has a really bad habit of infecting other genres of music. It happened with rock, with metal, with hardcore... now this. Everyone in the world seems to get it (rap) and is drawn to it except me. To me, it absolutely ruins anything it comes near. I loathe the sound, the image, the style, the scthick, everything about it. When it rears it's ugly head, I'm out.

This time, it is different.

None of the other genres were completely worthless, quite the way Nashville Pop is worthless. And so, when this is combined with rap, the result is going to feast on itself like acid added to alkaline and when the process is over, there will be nothing but a clean surface - all the waste will simply be gone.

How about, .... things that pertain to COUNTRY and things that at least to some degree resemble MUSIC?
Country music has never quite been Beethoven but it certainly , even at its' most base points, has had more of a level of ability than mumbling absurdities in monotone over a drum machine.
